To oi? coho m) it may conoem i it known that; PAUL :iitEiNZ, a citinot the Uniteai titntes, and resident of ille, in the won 115/ of Rock and State i hora invented new and useful in Grain Senora 'b, of n the ioiiowinrg is it description, refer 2 me being; hzui to the nccompnnyiog draw; I hich of this epecification 1 reiuten to' i'l'YtpIOVQITlQ'Ui'S in purntori, anti more particularly to the means for oeeittating the straw rake!- and the groin bottom rnen'iber of the n1echine. is one ofthe objects of this invention to p"'o"'i te a groin separator in. which the straw raker and the grain bottom member are iiitierentiotiy oscillated by the some stun t.

tort-her object of the invention is to to I,

a"; he more thoroughly separated c straw than heretofore and in thirnhio and inexpensive to inannfao mood-e :1 grain separator in which a straw mat on nxiiiory straw mire are pro and. operzttlvely connectedv toon of: machine.

ith the above other objects in'view, to of the in'iorovcd grain o. combinations oofa drawing in which i chm-"omen intieete the i in an. of the views Figure it is a .1112! sectioneij View oat groin sepeinbotfiyingr the improveci construoa horizontal sectional detztii forward end of themochine; s a transverse sectional fietailor the cranked shaft and :1 portion of teferring to the drawing the numeral 5 rates the 'wheoi mounted frame which is n usual oonetmction and o the toothed r eyiimier in one end thereof. An

r ,7 V .JL conneeteo to the v ar und th-' promote-Lt orz-tin separator in which theme operating mechanism is strong and to the oscillatory bottom grainin the claims, anti. all eqnivnients' tension portion 8 in the Form of a grate. The :t'orward end of the owing is adjusted verticuiiy by means of the cam member 9 unit the forward end of the 'ratc portion 8 is raised or imvcrcd by a cranizert rod 10. A heater 11 extending transr-ersely the machine and above the extension 8 operutee in the usual manner and the extension 8 is adapted to adjust the size of the open ing between the heater and the said exten sion, 1 I t It transverse shaft 12 mounted on the frame 5 is provided with cranked portions .3 and 14 out of atinemen't transverseiy with relation to each other and the shaft. The cranked portion 13 carries the lower end of the toothed inclined straw rakeclti and the cranked portion 14 carries the forword end of the grain bottom 1-6, The cranked portion 13 is of greater throw than the cranked portions 14: and. is slightly in advance, in the direction of rotation, of the cranked portion 14. Thenpper end of the forward end of a toothed auxiliary straw rake 17 which is swinging y suspended on hails 18 extending across the frame of the machine so that the oscillation of the rake will swing the auxiiiary rake 17 book and forth on the haiie. The rear end portion of the grain bottom 16 is suspended on a hail 19 and it chatter 2O pivotaiiy eonneoteit at its forward end to said rear end of the grain bottom is also supported at its opposite end by boil The frame also provided with the usual heel riddle 22, sieve fan 24 and a, shoe 25 positioned hejtow the plane of the grain bottom and at the rear end portion of the trnmeond which operate in the ordinary manner:

In operation the doubled crank shaft will oscillate the straw rake and the grain bottom with e difi'eren '.i movement, and the auxiliary straw rake and! the chatter bars will also be caused to swing back anti forth and the'nmterial ted to the separator will be advanced and separated by the movements of said ports.

- From the foregoing description it will be seen that the grain separator is very simpie in mnetruetion and operation and is well oriented for, the pnrpoee described w /hot I chrim my invention is:

1. it separator, comprising a frame, otmft mounteot on the frame and. provided straw rake 15 is pivotaiiy connected to the H with a plurality of cranked portions out of portions is of greater throw than the other, a straw rake movably connected to the other and the shaft, a straw iii'it! pivotally to the auxiliary rack and to one of the frame, a shaft extending transversely across 'versely with relation to each other and the iliary rack and to one of the cranked portions, another bail extending across the nose alincment transversely with relation to each other and the shaft one of which cranked frame and to one of the cranked portions, and a grain bottom member movahiy connected to the frame and to the other cranked portion.

2. A grain se arator, comprising a frame, a shaft mounts on the frame and provided with a plurality of cranked portions out of alinement transversely with relation to each connected to the frame and to one of the cranked portions, a grain bottom member pivotally connected to the frame one to the other cranked portion of the shaft, and chat fer bars pivotally connected to the frame and to the end oi the grain bottom member which is connected to the frame.

3. A grain separator, comprising a frame, a shaft extending transversely across the frame and provided with a puraiity of cranked portions out of alinement transversely withsrelation to each other and the shaft, an auxiliary straw rake movaoiy connected to the frame, a straw rack connected cranked portions of the frame, and a grain bottom member moi/ably connected to the frame and to the other cranked portions of the shaft.

4. A grain separator, comprising a the frame and provided with a plurality of cranked portions .out of almement ransshaft, bails extending across the frame, an auxiliary straw rack supported by the bails, a straw rake pivotally connected to the ante frame, and a ain bottom member supported at one end )y the last mentioned bail and connected at its other end to the other cranked portion of the shaft.

E. A grain separator, comprising a frame, a shaft extending transversely across the .freme and provided with a plurality of cranked ortions out of alinement ,trans-' versely with relation to each OthBILfiIld. the

shaft, bails extending across the frame, an

auxiliary rack supported by the hails, a

straw rack pivotallyconnected to'the auxiliai'y rack at one end and having its other end connected to one of the cranked portions, another bail member extending across the frame, a grain bottom member supported from the last mentioned bail at one end and having'its other end connected to the ther cranked portion of the shaft, and chafierbars movabiy connected to the frame and to the grain bottom member.

6. A grain separator, comprising a frame, a shaft extending transversely across the frame and pro ided with a plurality of cranked portions out of alinement transversely with relation to each other and the in testimony whereof, I afiix my signa-l tare, in presence of two witnesses.
